The black Strat
In an interview with Guitar World (may, 2006) David talk about when the guitar was puchased at Manny's in New York in the early 70's. The original Fender pickups was replaced by three singlecoils Seymour Duncan had laying around (he doesn't say whether these were Fender or Duncan). The pickups were also rewound by Duncan. According to Phil Taylor, the body is a 1970 Fender/CBS era model.
- 1974/75. During the 1974 mid summer rehearsals at King's Cross, London, David replaced the white pickguard with a black and fitted the guitar with 1964 Fender rosewood/maple neck.
- 1977/78. Prior to the North American leg of the Animals tour (april-july '77), David installed a DiMarzio FS-1 pickup in the bridge position. This version of the guitar was also used on his first solo album in '78.
- 1979-83. David also used the guitar on The Wall recording sessions and tour. Now the DiMarzio was taken out and the guitar had a Charvel flamed maple neck (with a fake Fender logo). The tremolo arm was shortened and a switch was installed to combine the bridge and neck pickups..
- 1984. For the About Face tour, David installed a Khaler tremolo system. After the tour, he realized that the system cut the sustain and re-installed the stock Fender tremolo.
- 2003 and present. The guitar was last seen on the Dark Side of the Moon documentary and the Live 8 reunion. David is also using it on “On an Island”. Now the guitar has a Fender '57 reissue neck, like his red Strats.
The guitar has a lot of features that were done to improve the sound and to cut down on unwated noise. The ground was re-wired to improve the shielding from noise. The volume and tone knobs were connected directly to the output jack to cut down on bad connections. To help the guitar stay in tune, the six screws on the tremolo plate were tightened all the way down. David generally use three springs for the tremolo.

EDIT : par contre, après vérification, les EMG, il ne les a utilisé qu'après (à partir de 85 et pour la tournée a momentary lapse of reason) et sur une autre strat, au temps pour moi.
